Is Ackles being considered for Captain America?

The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision posted the list of contenders who have either tested or are expected to screen test this week and next at Marvel's Manhattan Beach headquarters for the role of Captain America in the upcoming Captain America movie, set for release on July 22, 2011.

According to the report, Jensen Ackles and Garret Hedlund are not on the current list due to scheduling conflicts.

The Hollywood Reporter also says that "sources on both sides caution that an actor may not be found from the tests, which happened during Marvel's search for the man who would be Thor. For that movie, currently shooting in Manhattan Beach, the studio conducted several rounds of testing but found its star, Chris Hemsworth, out of left field." Which made IGN wonder if Heat Vision "is hedging its bets, or Marvel really wants Ackles or Hedlund and is actually willing to sign one of them without a test, schedule permitting? We'll know soon enough."
